 K900 | Is this NixOS 24.05 or unstable? | 20:57:02 |
 Whovian9369 | Should be Unstable | 20:57:10 |
| K900 | Oh | 20:57:19 |
| K900 | And did you update in between restarting the VMs? | 20:57:28 |
| Whovian9369 | You mean while we were experimenting? No, not to my knowledge | 20:57:50 |
| K900 | Do you have
[wsl2]
kernelCommandLine = cgroup_no_v1=all
in your .wslconfig? | 20:58:02 |
| Whovian9369 | I don't have anything in my C:\Users\Whovian\.wslconfig (Everything is commented out.) | 20:59:05 |
| K900 | Yeah, you need to set that | 20:59:33 |
| K900 | For systemd 256 to start correctly | 20:59:36 |
| K900 | Otherwise things get Funny | 20:59:40 |
| Whovian9369 | Ah damn it, thanks 😅
I'll try that in a moment | 20:59:49 |
| Whovian9369 | wsl.exe --shutdown, add that, and try again? | 21:00:00 |
| K900 | Thank Microsoft for not shipping a cgv2-by-default kernel like three months after Ubuntu shipped it as a requirement | 21:00:16 |
| K900 | (and like multiple years after everyone else decided it was a good idea) | 21:00:28 |

Okay cool, this is a good sign
| 21:02:34 |
| Whovian9369 | And the errors on every tab are magically gone, which means that all of the services are starting as I'd expect again.
Thank you so so much for the help and time, K900. | 21:03:12 |
| K900 | I just realized we can probably get better errors if we actually dup systemd logs to kmsg | 21:04:57 |
| K900 | CC @nzbr:nzbr.de | 21:05:02 |
| K900 | Oh never mind | 21:10:06 |
| K900 | systemd is trying to be smart | 21:10:10 |
| K900 | And write to /dev/console | 21:10:18 |
| K900 | And guess what WSL does to that | 21:10:23 |
| Whovian9369 | Then as a followup question, do you know if there's a way to automatically check for the .wslconfig entry (without reading the file directly) to warn a user to add it? | 21:11:49 |
| K900 | No | 21:11:58 |
| K900 | We basically have no user facing communication until after systemd | 21:12:13 |
| K900 | And when there's no systemd, there's also no after | 21:12:29 |
| K900 | Hopefully Microsoft will just fix it | 21:14:04 |
| K900 | After enough people update to Ubuntu 24.04 and explode | 21:14:16 |
| Whovian9369 | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
We basically have no user facing communication until after systemd I was thinking on nixos-rebuild or something. (Or other tests after systemd would launch to print "Hey, you may want to fix this...") | 21:15:36 |
| K900 | See the problem is all of those things work after systemd has launched | 21:17:57 |
